Ottimismo metodico?

Lasciatemi citare un episodio da l'Impero Colpisce Ancora

Artoo waddles closer to Luke, chirping wildly, then scoots over the edge of the swamp. Catching on, Luke rushes to the water's edge. The X-wing fighter has sunk, and only the tip of its nose shows above the lake's surface.


LUKE: Oh, no. We'll never get it out now.

Yoda stamps his foot in irritation.


YODA: So certain are you. Always with you it cannot be done. Hear you nothing that I say?

Luke looks uncertainly out at the ship.


LUKE: Master, moving stones around is one thing. This is totally different.
YODA: No! No different! Only different in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned.
LUKE: [focusing, quietly] All right, I'll give it a try.
YODA: No! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

Luke closes his eyes and concentrates on thinking the ship out. Slowly, the X-wing's nose begins to rise above the water. It hovers for a moment and then slides back, disappearing once again.


LUKE: [panting heavily] I can't. It's too big.

[...]


YODA: You must feel the Force around you. [gesturing] Here, between you... me... the tree... the rock... everywhere! Yes, even between this land and that ship!
LUKE: [discouraged] You want the impossible.

Quietly Yoda turns toward the X-wing fighter. With his eyes closed and his head bowed, he raises his arm and points at the ship.
Soon, the fighter rises above the water and moves forward as Artoo beeps in terror and scoots away. The entire X-wing moves majestically, surely, toward the shore. Yoda stands on a tree root and guides the fighter carefully down toward the beach.
Luke stares in astonishment as the fighter settles down onto the shore. He walks toward Yoda.


LUKE: I don't... I don't believe it.
YODA:That is why you fail.

Luke shakes his head, bewildered.
